2. Time to kill. If I wanted to play hardcore I would choose that option. what's more is fast Time to kill mixed with horrendous lag has got to be one of the worst possible combinations you can have in an online fps.

3. Spawns. How do you make bigger maps yet worse spawns any other way but deliberately. Not good at all.

I could go on and on with things that annoy me personally but these are the fundamental problems making this game unplayable for many.

No I will not be interfering with my internet to attempt to make the game run better.

Well you see Drewish Its my PERSONAL opinion piece and thus is not spam also those things obviously are in severe need of repair before Ghost ends up with a population to rival the equally craptastic Halo 4.

Drewish do the forum a big favor and leave. 90% of post you make are blindly defending the game against players legitimate criticism of the game and usually in an insulting immature fashion. How is that going to make the game better?. If you and your ilk on this forum got rid of every poster who complains about the myriad of severe problems with Ghost you would only be encouraging Activision /Incompetence ward to give us less instead of more and with Ghost we certainly got less.

Any excuse to censor opinions you don't like right Drewish?. Let it be known to any who come by this post that I have asked the poster Nicedrewishfela to stay away from my post in the past. I am a relatively forgiving and tolerant poster but this guy comes at me like an angry pitbull everytime I post something he doesent like. He is probably breaking coc himself in that regard.

You shouldnt have to have an internet connection at all, right. you should be able to throw your xbox in your car, or backpack and just whip it out at a redlight and play. You paid for the game, it shouldnt matter if theres no internet at the redlight at all .... or electric or a tv for that matter. What's up with forking out all that hard earned cash and have to buy a tv on top of it..... geeeesse.

Its pretty simple. Its an online game,. The online part is as much of your responsibility as much as theirs. Maybe the problem is all on their end .... maybe its all on yours, maybe its a bit of both, and maybe even some third party entities that are part of the network between your console and the other players. If you arent willing to do your part, then you have absolutely no right to complain about others doing theirs.

Its no more idiotic than just blaming someone else for a problem that you dont have a clue if is caused by them or you.

Say you went out and bought a few dvds. The first 2 played fine, the third made everyone short and fat and there were big black areas at the top of the screen. Would you immediately complain about the dvd, take it back to the store .... or maybe check the settings?

You buy a new car .... get in and you cant quite reach the pedals comfortably. Do you go back in and complain .... or adjust the seat?

I'll maybe oversimplify this a bit , but maybe you'll get the understanding. Think of your router as the security gaurd at the front desk of an office building. His job is to direct people where to go. Some people he will just let go where they need to go, some may have to wait for an appointment, for some he may have to call around to make sure they are permitted, some may be riffraff who have no business being there at all, and may possibly even be there for malicious purposes. Now you are working there and order a sandwitch from a shop several bocks away. should the security guy just let him in, or should you be responsible for notifying him that the delivery guy will be coming.?

Your router's job is to direct traffic, while keeping your network secure. If you dont give it instructions, it cant tell the riffraff from the delivery guy, You are right. The settings can be complicated. they may need set differently for different purposes and even digfferent individual games. In the time that you've spent in this thread alone, you could have googled and found out exactly how to make sure everything was set properly, but instead you do absolutely nothing as far as checking and just start blaming other people. ...... now who is being idiotic?

So I'd like to know how core is anymore like hardcore than before. We have 100 health, we've always had 100 health. Nothing changed there. The funny thing is (and I've said before in your other threads that cry about the same things) they listened to the vocal minority earlier. They put in heavy duty. And no one played it.

Your lag complaint is odd because you state that you won't even attempt to fix what could be a problem on your end. Confusing at best.

I have to agree with Bmac, and atiredoldguy, both. As atiredoldguy mentioned, if you have no intent of trying to fix the game on your end, then the complaint should fall on deaf ears. There is a process of elimination that HAS to be followed before instantly assuming that the other party is to blame. I am not attacking you, or your character, so please do not take it that way.

Drewish has always had something helpful to say, even if what he says is not what you want to hear. I think that Drew, like many of us here, is just tired of all of the complaining, and the devs actually listening to these complaints, that eventually turns the game in to trash for the rest of us.

What if your internet connection and port settings are to blame? Wouldn't you want to know that, and know how to fix it? When your internet connection is not optimized, and you suffer "lag"; it creates a trickle down effect. One bad connection can ruin an entire lobby, and usually, does.

All you need to do is click on the "Ghosts Support Forum", and up near the top, before the user submitted questions/comments, there is a step-by-step guide to port forwarding, and optimizing your internet connection. It is incredibly easy to follow.

And meanwhile in the real world I have had excellent matches on Ghosts and BO2 and MW3 even when everyone complained about them. But that is because I do know how to adjust my router and settings since I have learned too because I tinker with pc's and servers and other things for the fun of doing so.

If you have a bad game = The Developers are complete idiots who can't make a game, the connections are lousy, and it is all their fault.

YOU have a responsibility to make sure YOU do what you can on your side before you look to external factors. You can only control certain things. If you have done what you need to do, and there are still issues, then you can complain. We get your frustration with the game, but it is silly to blame everything and everyone else when you haven't done what is in your control.
